Unfortunately, Foxtel did what Foxtel does and stitched the rights to half of this seasons races up for five years (While the Ch Ten contract had another year to run too, would it be any great surprise to find they pay some more next year and stitch up the lot and the only non pay TV option was delayed highlights?) so any new F1 rights holder is four and a half years away from being able to launch a live streaming service in Australia unless of course Foxtel allowed that in the contract, which I would find very unlikely.
